Research projects

The Violence Research Group is involved in a number of ongoing research projects.

Our staff are constantly engaged in new projects that research the key issues surrounding violence and the impact they have on society.

Crossing different academic disciplines and collaborating with the local community, our projects provide new information and perspectives on the causes of violence and how they can be prevented.

Led by a Principal Investigator, each project has set of aims and objectives that guide the study.

Most of our projects have a collaborative element, requiring the assistance of the wider community.

Violence Research: All-Wales Licensed Premises Intervention to Reduce Alcohol-Related Violence

This project implements trial intervention on premises licensed for on-site alcohol consumption in Wales.

Violence Research: National Violence Surveillance Network

The National Violence Surveillance Network has over 100 Emergency Departments in England and Wales providing data on violence-related attendances on an annual basis.

An Evaluation of Alcohol Treatment Centre

The Cardiff Model for Violence Prevention (Information Sharing to Tackle Violence)

Violence Prevention in Emergency Care

Repeat visits to A&E highlight the cost of violence to the NHS and that there are, in many cases, underlying reasons why people are exposed to violence

Improving bruise evidence across skin tones

Bruising is harder to identify and document in those with darker skin, which has implications for those injured due to violence.
